ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
